EX-PLASTIC SURGEON UNDER INVESTIGATION

Former Boynton Beach doctor Mark Schreiber is being investigated again.

Police sent another case of allegations to the State Attorney's Office for review on Schreiber, 51, alleging he practiced without a license.

Schreiber's 12-year career as a plastic surgeon was marred by state Department of Health disciplines and investigations. He voluntarily relinquished his license earlier this month during a Board of Medicine meeting, said Department of Health spokeswoman Thometta Cozart.

Schreiber's license was suspended after he allegedly abused a patient in July 2005. But a Boynton Beach woman said he performed plastic surgery on her Oct. 17, 2005, in his office in the 100 block of Southeast 27th Avenue, police said in a report released Thursday.

The Boynton Beach woman filed the complaint with the Department of Health in August. She received liposuction, a breast lift and reduction and other procedures, according to the police report.

"There's permanent scarring and she will need some surgery to reconstruct some of the damage that he's done," investigator Scott Caudell said.

Efforts to reach Schreiber for comment were unsuccessful.

The Boynton Beach woman alerted the Department of Health when she looked into Schreiber's background after she had complications from her surgery and realized his license was suspended, police said.

Police presented the case to the State Attorney's Office, which could charge Schreiber with practicing with a suspended license.

It's the second case against Schreiber that police have presented to the State Attorney's Office. In July 2005, a 56-year-old Boca Raton woman, who was at Schreiber's office to have stitches removed, accused him of touching her breasts and feeling her inner thigh without gloves, police said.

Police sent the simple battery and culpable negligence case to the State Attorney's Office. The case is still under investigation, the office said.

Cozart said Schreiber offered no explanation for giving up his license but the department can take no further action against him and he is not eligible to practice medicine in the state again.
